FIRST OF ALL, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD PEOPLE ONLY, THOSE WHO DOESN'T COME TO HURT NOBODY ELSE, BUT TO MAKE THEIR OWN LIVING.
Lets make something clear for the ignorants in this forum.
A).- Most of Illegal immigrants go to a country to work (and they do).
B).-They pay taxes as any other legal residen (or some times even more).
C).-They don't cost the Goverment or tax payer any more money (in fact they cost a lot less) than most of the legal residents with all their unemployment checks, health coverage, economyc help, and somebody mention about cost of immigrations hearings, what about all the cost of legal resident who doesn't pay the taxes they should?, do you pay all the taxes as you should be paying? if not who's paying the taxes then, maybe illegal immigrants?. And the trials of the thieves, murderers, se x offenders, drug dealers, DWI, and all those criminals who are legally living on any country?? Does the taxes they pay (if they pay any) cover the cost they cause?. Nor to say the pain, panic, sorrow or sentimental damage they cause to other people?. Last time I checked nobody suffer because somebody enter the country illegally (not talking about criminal behaviour after that).
D).-Compare the statics on criminality of illegal aliens and those in legal residents and you tell me to whom could be given stereotype of "criminals". Who got the most high percentage of criminality?

F).-They say you can't buy your way into the country I think the bussiness category its pretty much what it is, legal or not, in escense you can't deny it. And what about buying your way out of jail? Should the Goverment not longer let people out of their crimes by paying a bail??? Since when extorsion, stealing, se xattackers, domestic violence, fraud, DUI (if you don't understand the severity of this crime, i feel sorry for you) and much other serious crimes are more accepted than whay illegal immigrants do? Why shouldn't they be given the opportunity of paying a bail for a crime way less offensive???
Frolic, your situation maybe different, but it does not make you any better. When you said you suffer the waiting, it makes me laugh if you only have a clue on what illegal immigrants have to go tru, sometimes facing death itself, and worst things, suffering the prosecution of the law and the persecution of close minded sometimes ignorant people. I bet you wouldn't have the BALLS to go tru what some of those people have to bear to give their family a better future. Not only I would give them a legal residency I WOULD GIVE THEM A MEDAL. And to you, you deserve your PR no doubt. Remember not all the people have the same opportunities you had, if they had you chances, THEY WOULDN'T BE THERE ILLEGALY, and maybe if you were in their situation, the illegal would be you.
Yes, going to a country illegaly is a crime, I don't deny that. I don't encourage it. It's wrong, and people shouldn't do it. They should be punished for that, they should be deported or whatever the law stipulates, they know they are doing wrong and they must face the consequences of their acts. But there are human rigts even for a child rapist, why would we treat hard working, law abiding (other than the first offense), tax paying, decent, good "citizen" individual as repulsive criminal?. Anyway, its not for us to judge ANY criminal, that's what the laws are for, so why are you making these comments to people who haven't do you any harm. Have you never committed any crime in your life???. I can see you are not very humanitarian, since you are judging people who you don't even know. And you don't fear God neither since you are judging other people like you were such a saint. I never heard of any religion punishing "illegal residents", I guess they'd need to add to the bible, or coran about people smuggling illegaly into heaven.
